Questions people ask

What happens at kindergarten orientation?
Families meet the teachers, hear what a day looks like and how the first week works, learn what to pack and ask their questions. Many schools add a classroom visit.
What is kindergarten round up?
A spring event many US schools hold for families of children starting kindergarten in the fall, often combining registration, screening and an orientation.
How can I get my child ready for kindergarten?
Focus on independence: using the bathroom, opening a lunchbox, managing a coat and recognizing their name. Short, cheerful goodbyes help on the first day.
